Intercultural Engagement and Community Building
Welcome to the Center for Equity and Inclusion! Our goal is to ensure that all students feel seen, heard, respected and valued, especially those from communities that have been historically marginalized. We aim to create a space open to all where anyone interested in building friendships, exploring identity, and developing intercultural awareness and skills, can learn from one another across differences in a supportive environment. In the Center we offer creative activities, co-curricular educational programs and mentoring, multicultural celebrations, and dialogue about social justice and solidarity. To foster a sense of belonging we positively affirm and advocate for diverse social group identities in alignment with our mission and the University of Washington Tacoma's Strategic Plan.
